(Throwing away a question if an application does not use Places and
Activities but instead loads it components 'by hands' (there is no GWT
support for history))

Yes, this what I meant. I gave slightly incorrect description. Sorry.
Places are 'State' of a page, i.e. 'Place' in an application. This is
great.
Also correct that set of Activities will describe components for the
current Place. Let us leave notion of mayStop() feature of
Activities.
It is cool and it is actually applied if you change a *Place*.

But. You are in one Place in the application. You have a pager, for
example. What will you do in order to implement history (browser back-
forward) support for paging in this case?

For me personally: current page in URL is a *state* of some paginator
component managed by Activity. Not a new *Place*, correct?
So you'll have to have some functionality to write-read some params
for the paginator related to to current page. If you (nightmare!) have
2 paginators?
What you'll have to do to be assured that sub-params (or there is an
other way to do it?) in the browser history string does not intercept?

thanks!
